luonnontieteellisten

Luonnontieteellisten is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective luontontieteellinen, meaning “natural-science” or “pertaining to the natural sciences.” It is the genitive plural form used when the adjective modifies a plural noun in genitive plural, forming phrases such as “of the natural sciences.” Examples include luontontieteellisten tutkimusten mukaan (according to natural science studies) and luontontieteellisten alojen kehitys (the development of natural science fields).
